Yep. That's the winner.
Says there are still some salvageable parts, but I don't see any.

Most rust for sale? (Re: New Record for the most rusty 65 Skylark)

Dear Brian and mid-60s Buick "rust collectors."

New Record for the most rusty 65 Skylark

http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/ptd/5109424131.html


Honestly, I think it isn't the record holder for the greatest collector of rust.  That should fall to a . . . . pile of rust.

On the other hand, it does seem to qualify as the "the most rusty 65 Skylark anyone still hoped to sell for some kind of money!"

Of course this is an active category and I would expect to see new contenders . . . . all the time!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
